Not one to shy away from the spotlight, Nikki Webster cemented her place in the hearts of Australians during her appearance at the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony.

She is now sharing her talents with Sydney by opening a performing arts school in Minchinbury, at 16/43 Sterling Road.

The Dance @ Nikki Webster studio will offer a training ground for up-and-coming stars and will provide them with the opportunity to learn from talented choreographers and world class teachers.

Ms Webster and her dance school co-founder and brother Scott Webster already have dance studios in Leichhardt and Erina.

“I am over the moon about opening a western Sydney studio as we have had our inner-west school for almost 10 years now,” she said.

“We have so many wonderful students at our Leichhardt and at our Erina studio locations so it was only natural that when the chance for a new studio arose, we jumped at the opportunity.”

The Minchinbury dance school opened last Saturday, January 23.

Potential students got the chance to try classes for free all day before deciding to register for the 2016 dance year.

Ms Webster said the open day had something for everyone, no matter their age or experience level.

“We had classes for tiny tots from 18 months old to seniors up to 17 and with specialised and experienced teachers, our students are in great hands,” she said.

“Scott and I are so humbled to be able to offer local western Sydney kids and teens a nurturing environment that promotes growth and development and I can’t wait to share my knowledge and experience with new local families.”

The Dance @ Nikki Webster Minchinbury studio will offer classes including jazz, tap, RAD ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, acrobatics, silks, drama, musical theatre and singing.
